The SGNA 39th Annual Course on May 18-23 in Phoenix, Arizona, brought together 1,341 attendees and 656 exhibitor personnel from 91 companies to learn, connect and advance the GI/endoscopy profession.

Despite the soaring temperatures, Phoenix provided a wonderful location and atmosphere for this year's Annual Course. The event offered attendees the opportunity to take advantage of 122 educational sessions and up to 42.5 contact hours per attendee. But the Annual Course wasn't simply about education – it was also about reconnecting with friends, meeting new GI professionals and recognizing the achievements of peers. Attendees danced the night away at the Tuesday Awards Gala and left the Annual Course the next day with renewed knowledge and passion for the GI/endoscopy nursing field.
